Career Opportunities
Automation and Control Engineering offers challenging and fulfilling careers for engineering technologists in design, research and development, and technical support, in many fields where automation and control are of paramount importance, such as:
- industry producing manufacturing systems, automatic machines, robotic systems, mechatronic systems;
- process industry (pulp and paper, energy production and conversion, chemical and petrochemical industry, etc.)
- transportation systems (ground, marine and aerospace), concerning both the development of vehicles (cars, boats, helicopters, aircrafts, satellites), and the design, management and control of infrastructures
- transportation and distribution networks; (e) food industry; (f) electrical appliances and home automation;
- environmental resources.
Typical companies where the automation and control engineers may operate include those producing and selling automation systems (both hardware and software); companies that use automated production plants or that manage highly complex services; engineering and consulting firms that design and project complex, economically challenging and technologically advanced plants and systems.
